Galway United suffered a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out defeat away to Athlone Town in their Club Orange Women's FAI Cup semi-final on Saturday evening (22nd August 2026).

Cara Griffin's superb equaliser on 71 minutes put the visitors to Athlone Town Stadium back on terms and the sides couldn't be separated in the final 20 minutes and in the extra half hour that followed. Lucy-Jayne Grant, Eve Dossen and Anna McGough found the net with their resulting penalties but unfortunately for Isabella Beletic and Niamh Farrelly, they were denied.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and James Doyle.

Connacht's hopes of a first women's interprovincial final appearance in seven years didn't materialise in Dexcom Stadium on Saturday (22nd August 2026) as Munster dominated to set up a meeting with Leinster at the same venue next week.

Tuam-Oughterard's Ullian Eilian made a dream debut with a third minute try but the hosts found themselves 21-5 down at half-time. Creggs' Jemima Adams Verling got over the whitewash again in the second period but Munster were always in control.

Afterwards, Connacht head coach Craig Hansberry and try scorer Jemima Adams Verling chatted to Galway Bay FM's Alan Deegan.
